Oh, I guess it's using the system's freetype library - and that is probably lacking proper support for bitmap fonts. I guess the workaround is to specify a supported font as default font. Note that this will likely break for old X11 apps that expect some core bitmap fonts to be present. But most current software should work fine. Is that symlink stunt still needed anyway?

no. not if you use the direct call. I was just mirroring exactly how I do stuff. And that's never "best practice".

That's very helpful info by the way, thank you.

I spoiled that section now with a big note in RED. Thanks Hawhill

And I have now found the MISSING LIB LibXfonts.so.1 that caused all the headache!!

Upped it on the relevant post.

Sorry about that.

could we have a Howto?

ie shortest path to viewing RPi on Kindle Touch using X11 remote

eg missing bits and what is needed:
how to enable tcp for Xorg,
where is ssh -X for kindle,
how to use Xephyr,
and no doubt much more.

this is easily the most current and detailed thread found,
just expects that one has already had experience of these mysteries

best

Cross-posting is against the forum guide lines.
Please do not do that.

AND
you can find the build of ssh that you are looking for attached to post #4 of this very thread.
it has been there since last February.

Yes well " HAD-TO-ZIP-TO-GET-ROUND-FORUM-FILESIZE.zip (16.58 MB, 29 views)"

is hardly ideal search material is it?

How is anyone supposed to guess what is in this package?

you knew, but kept it to yourself.

find me the ssh X11 forwarding in clear, and earn a gold star

there remains an issue of dependencies, which in my experience can be indeterminate.
hence some guidance is helpful...

does one need a clean 4Gb K5?

mine has a few books ~30 and the basic usbnet but not much else...

# bin/ssh -X pi@192.168.15.201
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1000103f, you have 1000006f

so I guess this huge-bundle may not be suitable for this Kindle Touch as is:

# uname -a
Linux kindle 2.6.31-rt11-lab126 #1 Tue Jul 17 16:55:47 PDT 2012 armv7l GNU/Linux

suitable advice appreciated

Well I just did a bit of checking and found a great way to find what libraries it is calling (since it appears the ssl lib is the wrong one?):
If you type
Code:
export LD_DEBUG=files
before you run ssh, it shows what you need to get from debian. see Debian_Installation_on_Kindle_Touch for that.

Then export the libs you need to the kindle once you install ssh through apt-get into the image you create.

Good luck - I guess no one else is doing what you want, so when you get it working, post back! Also, Xephyr is a wonderful thing!

Also, maybe this would be helpful:
optware

to turn off the export LD_DEBUG, just set it blank like "export LD_DEBUG="

It will list the library(ies) that would be selected for loading after considering all of the dynamic loader's configuration and environmentally settings as-of the moment it is run.

When looking for ABI mis-matches (a common cause of seg-faults) the objdump, readelf and nm utilities are a better source of information.

Information such as:
Code:

Thanks -very helpful -to me. Sorry to hijack the thread. I was trying to get the ssh working when I copied the wrong library to the wrong place and fubared my kindle for a bit. Still working on the ssh thing when I can!

heres a version of ssh with supporting libs, could someone test to see if -X works or not? I don't have a great setup right now to test this.
